I rate Azza very very highly - as a bat, not as a person - for sustaining an excellent record for fifteen years in a tough time for batting. I also think Vengsarkar and Amarnath are extremely underrated as batsman and Laxman has a legitimate claim to be the best crisis batsman of all time but there's no way I'm not voting for Hazare.

Dravid
Tendulkar
Hazare

VVS can get quick runs, buckle down and grit it out, single-handedly rescue the team from a dire situation, irrespective of conditions and opposition. In fact, the better the opposition, the better he played.
He's underrated because of his average imo which suffered because of his terrible initial years as a makeshift opener. Otherwise he averaged about 50 iirc.
Played so many epics its impossible to ignore him. Only thing i can put against him is that he didnt get enough hundreds.
